While trying to (not) run over a nun, Dan crashed his car into the wall of a church. At the trial, he is offered a suspension in exchange for community service, but Dan refuses. The court date is rescheduled for a later date. Upon leaving the courtroom, a myriad of people come up to Dan to help him for all the community service he's apparently been doing. Chris and Elise begin to think that the pressure from the trial is causing Dan to finally crack. Dan stumbles home to find a doppleganger in his apartment. The impostor proclaims that ''he'' is now Dan, and that Dan better find a new identity. Chris and Elise continue to assume Dan has lost it, even dragging him off to a high-level psychiatrist. Eventually they realise the impostor is real, and Chris soon befriends him. Dan ostensibly forgives the impostor, handing over his driver's license and saying, "Dan's all yours." Dan then takes on a new, kind persona - "Biff Wellington". Chris is pleased with this result, but it's all a scheme - the impostor Dan is arrested when Dan intentionally misses his court date.
